Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3325 — Morgan Stanley/Glick/Canary Wharf)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 28/07)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 23 January 2004 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
1.
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1310/97 (2), by which the undertakings Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds IV, Morgan Stanley Real
Estate Special Situations Fund II and Princes Gate Investors, all belonging to the Morgan Stanley Group,
United States (‘Morgan Stanley’), and certain Glick family trusts, United States (‘Glick Entities’), acquire,
within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, control of the whole of the undertaking Canary
Wharf Group plc, United Kingdom (‘Canary Wharf’), by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Morgan Stanley: global financial services firm active in investment banking, sales, trading, financing and

private equity,

— Glick Entities: investment in private equity and real estate,

— Canary Wharf: property development and investment mainly in the London area.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit
